Chris Brogan asks a very thought provoking question and then proceeds to give reasons why one should create personal media. Below are just some of the main headings. Of course, to learn more you should read his post.
- Tell a Story
- Because It Gets Consumed
- Personal Media Conveys Your Message
- You Can Reach the Deep Niches
- It Answers A Basic Human Need
- Create: It Makes a Difference
I’d like to add a thought that just started creeping into my mind. In my experience with blogging, learning video, and doing a little bit of podcasting, it seems that I find myself thinking of things to do that would be interesting to write about or record. In other words, once you start to get the hang of creating personal media, you tend to want to live more so that you have more interesting stories to tell. If you don’t think you have anything interesting in your personal story to tell, then perhaps you should go out and do something interesting. Once you’ve done that, share it. Get out there and live so that you have a story to tell. Some of us would be glad to hear your story.
If you want to take baby steps, you can start by writing a little bit about yourself in the comments below. Tell me about yourself.
